I’m unable to decide between the Honda CB350, Royal Enfield Meteor, and Triumph T4. My daily usage is about 50 km, and I occasionally cruise for 100 km or more. Which one should I choose?

Between the three, we would recommend the Triumph Speed T4 as it is an accomplished city bike that can also handle highway cruising at 100-110kph. The Honda CB350 and Royal Enfield Meteor 350 are also heavier, slower bikes that won't be able to match the Triumph's handling on a twisty road.

Hi, I am confused between the Triumph Scrambler 400X, Harley-Davidson X440, Royal Enfield Himalayan, and Royal Enfield Meteor 650. I previously owned a Royal Enfield Thunderbird 350 and am now looking to upgrade. My usage will mostly involve daily commuting in Pune traffic, with a 10 km highway stretch included in my 24 km one-way ride. I want a comfortable bike that can be ridden daily with a pillion and should also be comfortable enough for my wife to ride along with our 2-year-old child.

In terms of familiarity, the Harley Davidson X440 will be the logical next step up for you from your Thunderbird 350. With its neutral ergonomics, plush suspension and torquey air/oil-cooled engine, the X440 T will serve your use case well. If you want something with a bit more performance and more commanding ergonomics, then the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC is what you should consider. The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 will easily be the most comfortable for two-up riding of the bikes you've shortlisted, but its heavy kerb weight could be hard to manage, especially with a pillion onboard in stacatto big-city traffic. We'd recommend you steer clear of the Super Meteor 650 because its laidback riding position and stiff rear shocks will cause you discomfort over bad roads. Take a test ride of the other three with your pillion to see which one you find comfortable before you make your purchase.

Hey there, I have booked a KTM Duke 250, which is expected to be delivered around mid-month. As a new rider with experience only on an Activa, should I wait for the upcoming 350 Duke or go ahead with the 250?

We would recommend you go ahead with the KTM 250 Duke purchase as your first bike. It will be an easier and friendlier machine to learn on. The upcoming 350 Duke will likely be similar in terms of its throttle response and power output to the 390 Duke, which will make it a much faster machine and thus less suited to a beginner.

Hi, I am planning to switch from my current petrol Honda Activa 110cc to an electric scooter. Could you please suggest a good brand/model that is easy to handle, not too heavy, has a reliable battery, and offers convenient charging with good availability? My daily usage is around 50–60 km in Mumbai city. My budget is approximately ₹1-1.25 lakh, but I can consider higher-range models if they are worth it.

Since you have a rather long daily commute, we'd recommend going with an electric scooter with a battery capacity of 3kWh or more. In that space, you have options like multiple variants of the TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak models. Both are reliable, dependable, comfortable, practical and no-nonsense offerings that come from established companies. You can also look at the Ather Rizta, although in your budget, you'll probably only get the base S 2.9 variant, which has a slightly lower range than the other two, although it should still suffice for your needs. A test ride of these three is imperative before you make a decision.
